All approaches require cautious examination and validation, and Neyrey’s approach is no different. One may not agree with all of Neyrey’s conclusions, but they will cause the reader to think about the text of John. The focus on cultural information illuminates the text in many helpful ways. This emphasis does not necessarily drastically alter one’s understanding of the text, but it does add color to John’s Gospel and it will prune away incorrect notions and add important additional information.
Given all that has been written about the Gospel of John over the past twenty centuries, can anything more possibly be said about it? Yes, says Jerome Neyrey -- by reading this "maverick Gospel” in terms of ancient rhetoric and by viewing it in terms of cultural anthropology. / By interpreting the text in these two fresh ways, Neyrey distinctively illuminates the Gospel of John, casting new light on its theological message and on such topics as Jesus the revealer practicing secrecy, foot-washing as transformation ritual, and the Jewish background of Jesus’ equality with God, of Jesus being "greater than” Abraham. Neyrey’s scholarly study will certainly educate -- and at times provoke -- attentive readers. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
